Rich was always such a sweet, considerate gentleman. We loved all our times together! He was always so dapper. Rich was always dressed impeccably and was proud of his style.😀 He always offered advice and encouragement when needed. Rich was always thoughtful. If he saw something that made him think about someone, he would bring it the next get together letting us know how loved we were. We will always think of the love we shared. Rich’s friendship was priceless, cherished and will never, ever be forgotten. Until we meet again dear friend, party on!
Rich was always the perfect gentleman, loving, caring and generous husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. I am fortunate enough to have been able to call him one of my dearest friends. Rich’s keen sense of humor could always lift my spirits when it was most needed. He was there to let you know that he cared and to listen in the good times and the not so good ones. I have always had a special admiration of the love he had for Laurie and she for him. Rich had the patience of a saint and a heart as big as all outdoors.
My favorite times were going toThe Courtyard for dinner where Megan would save all her green Skittles for Rich. He was so good at pretending how much he loved them just to please her.
You will be missed, my dear, dear friend but will always be a most treasured memory.
